I ragazzi del coro “Nativi Musicali”: percorsi di integrazione, tra canto, scuola e lavoro

The “Nativi Musicali” project is an interscholastic choir from the met- ropolitan area of Bologna which in- volves dozens of students, some with immigrant background, who love mu- sic and want to practice it. The main purpose is the dissemination and promotion of culture and the arts, es- pecially music, with the belief that its “transformative power” is one of the most effective engines for the social development of the territory and the well-being of the individual and of the community. The theoretical model is “El Sistema”, a music-education pro- gram, founded by the musician and activist José Antonio Abreu.
